The topic of the manuscript found at the crossroads between Greco-Roman tradition and Christianity in Late Antiquity
Abstract
The purpose of this essay is to trace some relationships between the Greco-Latin literary tradition and that of early Christianity. We will focus specifically on the field of hagiography and the falsifications that occurred there around the fourth and fifth centuries. To this end, we will analyze the use in both traditions of one of the most commonly used topics of falsification over time: that of the rediscovered manuscript, or pseudo-document, as an authorizing element.
